iOS 18.2: New features for your iPhone (other than AI) - 9to5Mac

iOS 18.2 is now available to everyone, and the update is headlined by major new Apple Intelligence features.

While those Apple Intelligence features are garnering most of the attention, there are other notable features now available on your iPhone.

iOS 18.2 is available to all iPhones capable of running iOS 18. Apple Intelligence features, of course, are still limited to iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and all iPhone 16 models.

There are three changes for the Camera Control on the iPhone 16 coming with iOS 18.2:

iOS 18.2 brings big changes to the Mail app, including a new on-device categorization system that sorts your emails into four different categories:

There are other changes in the Mail app in iOS 18.2. The update brings a new "digest view" that shows all emails from a specific business. You can also opt to show notification badges only for unread messages in the "Primary" category.

In the Find My app, you can now share the location of a misplaced AirTag by generating a link, enabling someone else to help you locate it.

That link can be shared with others to help you find the lost item. Using the link, people can access a website displaying the item's location on an interactive map. The website automatically updates with new locations and includes timestamps for the most recent updates.

Apple has also announced it is teaming up with more than 15 airlines to implement systems to accept location links to help locate lost luggage.

In iOS 18.2, the Settings app introduces a new "Volume Limit" control for the iPhone's built-in speaker. This feature allows you to set a maximum volume limit for playing audio content like songs, movies, and other media. To access this option, navigate to the Settings app and go to "Sounds and Haptics."

iOS 18.2 lets you permanently add the volume slider back to your iPhone's Lock Screen. This comes after iOS 16 removed the volume slider from the Lock Screen except while using AirPlay.

Here's how to find this new setting:

For iPhone 16 Pro users, iOS 18.2 introduces a more powerful Voice Memos experience. This feature enables you to layer multiple tracks on top of each other, allowing for greater flexibility in recording and editing. Additionally, you have the option to separate these layers after they've been recorded.

In iOS 18.2, tapping on a video within the Photos app no longer results in zooming in or out. Instead, both the video scrubber and the gallery view at the bottom remain visible.

Here are other changes to the Photos app:
